About setting a variable to character MP

[CWells]

If I set a variable to Actor MP, will it stay on point during battle or is it something that needs to be readjusted?

If I enter a map with a parallel process with set MinotaurMP-Actor(minotaur)MP and leave the map that has the paraprocess, and enter a battle. If the Minotaur uses up MP will the variable MinotaurMP stay on point?

if its a map event, it will only run while ur on that map... so it would be better to use a parallel process, common event for that...

A Map's Parallel process does not continue in battle, so you will need to readjust within Scene_Battle.

So I can just fix the variables I created for character MP to work by scripting in Scene_Battles?

The control variable command will only place the current value into the variable, you need to update that if you want to check it.

However, I would not use a parallel process for this if that can be avoided, because it simply creates too much lag to have those processes for simple things.

Instead, just place another control variable setting the current data at every position where you check that value. That will also prevent problems with battlescreens

Yeah, I just set up all the variables for a troop event using condition check at every turn and set to start up once per turn. It's working great. And no lag that i notice, even with 35 variables set (all the necessary characters).

I'm just using a troop event. Can copy the list to every fight. No problem.

You could just set them in a common event, and have your troop event do a Call Common Event, rather than having to copy/paste the whole 35 variables into each troop

....I just remembered. I can check the variables in the common event as well. Right, I did the check with the coditiional branches for if mp variable is whatever but never even considered that I could set the variable just before the conditional. Totally overlooked that. Wow...

I'll go and set all that up X_X
